Through their advocacy, collaboration and deep dedication to improving outcomes for individuals, Warren and Lexi continue to make a meaningful contribution to the eating disorder sector - Butterfly Foundation

A step-by-step guide to resetting your relationship with food, renourishing your body and brain, and finding mental freedom from eating disorders.

Do you or someone you care about suffer from an eating disorder?

Renourish is your guide to recovery from disorders that include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).

Authors Dr Warren Ward and clinical nutritionist Lexi Crouch (herself fully recovered from anorexia) have dedicated their lives to helping people heal. In Renourish, they draw on the latest scientific research, clinical practice and lived experience to help you reset your relationship with food, your body and your mind.

They focus on the malnourished brain, and explain how it can trick us into the rigid thinking typical of eating disorders, leading to rules and rituals that deprive us of agency and disconnect us from joy.

Featuring patient stories, reflection activities and the latest research, Warren and Lexi take you through their three proven steps to recovery. Compassionate, practical and accessible, Renourish is a path to both physical recovery and emotional freedom.
